So, we flop a straight flush, now how to get paid?

[AlexMartin]

Villain and me have tangled before, he 3bet me pre, i shoved 1010 and he called w AK and hit. Given a minor bit of abuse to the table while playing pretty tight for the past hour. Anyone got a better line that makes more money ling-term? Note its a 3-way pot.

Insta min-raise the river to look like an idiot?  But he's put $280 in so far, nearly half his stack, so I really don't think he has anything at all, if he had half a hand he would have checked the river...

[LeKnave]

I like the way you played it, i don't think your getting any more.

[Snatiramas]

You always have a choice.........the main thing is you have done nothing wrong. would he have called a min reraise....... possibly. He might have reraised you....but unlikely. Pretty sure he folds regardless. But what do I know? I don't play cash

[kinboshi]

I agree.   The push on the river will be called if he's got a hand enough times to make the shove a profitable play. You min-raise and he might call, and then you're wondering if he would call a push.  But then again, maybe a min-raise lets him hang himself.  Oh, I don't know...

[Longy]

Lol Alex you play so different to me. I would have lead the river personally but i rarely check raise rivers (possible leak?). The rest of the hand is player dependent, donking the flop, check raising the turn all very much based on how a view the opponent.

I think this is one of those you can play numerous different ways and not be wrong.

One thing I will say i think shoving the river is alot better than min raising from what I have seen of your image where you have bluffed in this spot before.

[boldie]

you played it fine.

[ACE2M]

flat calling with 45 suited before the flop oop just spewing chips overtime?

[NoflopsHomer]

Really like the turn lead but you could bet even more there. ($120ish)

75 seems perfect, i assume your trying to make it look like your after a cheap card?

[celtic]

Flat call his river bet. Don't be greedy.

Yeah, "trying to buy a flush draw", hoping villain puts me on bare As. Was thinking about leading but multiway this can shut down my action unless oppo has As/made flush.

WRT river lead Longy, im unsure how much i can get off hands which have been hurt by turn+river big cards. I thought with a river lead he might fold a larger % of hands thanhe would bluff with..... (need to do more analysis on this generally).

Also, i did some PT studies and i deffo dont CR the river enough with big big hands, so have tried to mix it here.

Hand was interesting coz opponent folded.......AQ! FFS!
